2015 Spring Practice

"3. BC prides itself on the fact that it is second to only Harvard in total number of sports. bC has a ridiculously high percentage of student participation in athletics. this is a nice tie-breaker when it comes students deciding between BC and another comparable school."

who in the world decided on BC because it has a high % of student participation in non-revenue athletics????

10% of BC students are varsity athletes.
For those 10%, im sure this was a relevant fact.
In an age where it is hard to differentiate between schools which are peers, I am sure this is a meaningful statistic.

I assume similar logic applies to the talented cultural, religious, and volunteering activities that BC is known for. The whole point is to get the best students on campus by appealing to what these students so desire. And, For this reaason, I'm actually surprised today's nerds haven't created a Saturday matinee club, a Friday night library study team, or a varsity Apple picking team.

I don't think I want to know the answer, but is there a Quidditch team?

I would be absolutely SHOCKED if there wasn't one.

If I'm a field hockey player, why do I care that we have a women's ski team?

Or are you suggesting that the academic profile of our classes are enhanced because we are getting above average students that we otherwise would not have as a result of fielding these programs? If anything, I would expect the opposite to be the case and that said students (if they lean in either direction) are below the mean of an average kid who just gets into the school in terms of qualifications.

This is anecdotal, but my observation was that the scholarship athletes in the non-revenue sports tended to be dumber on aggregate than the average non-athlete student. Not football player bad, but still bad.

Sweet Jesus, hansen, make it club like the men's crew and sailing teams. They do fine.

Which makes sense. Find me a school where you have to be MORE qualified than the average student to play a scholarship sport.

What support do you have for this number????

hello, exactly

see teddy. hansen was a varsity athlete so he would know about things like numbers and percentages on top of knowing the best way to fit a rose (stem and all) up his ass

You were right, TRE. I don't know how I could have questioned the validity of your numbers. You are smart and tough and handsome and not at all fat.

[twballgame9]

Didn't hansen run cross country? How is that shit a varsity sport?

[2001Eagle]

Didn't hansen run cross country? How is that shit a varsity sport?

It's cheap as hell to run. A few pairs of shoes, some 4 inch long shorts and disposable razors for Hansen to shave his legs and you have a team.

There's this new machine that they just invented called Google. The number is actually 9% but I pretended I was a lawyer for a second and stretched the truth.

The average GPA of a student athlete at BC is higher than the average student.
I believe the graduation rate is higher as well.
Granted, this statistic is skewed due to the fact that most nag athletes are nerds but whatever.

It sounds like the scrimmage was pretty rough for for the QBs, although helped by WRs not catching passes.

So we are clear, nobody from The Nexus attended the scrimmage - correct?
